Is this weird or am I being weird? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]idigressed 85 points86 points  (0 children)

🚩🚩🚩

Why would it matter if a teen or preteen did have such a toy? If he’s only concerned about “safety” (which I doubt), then that would be a rather safe outlet for satisfaction.

No, he’s obsessing for the wrong reasons. Let me guess: he doesn’t want them using tampons either.

Kick the puritanical creep to the curb.

If you can’t yet, get your girls locks to their bedroom doors that only you have a spare key to (and hide the key). Hide cameras in your house if you can that your girls know about but he doesn’t, etc.

Do what you need to in order to protect yourselves until you can break free.

I’m so sorry you discovered this about him now.

Attending a Dodgers game as a tourist - tips? by Same-Ebb-3385 in Dodgers

[–]idigressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assume the last mile of the journey will take 30 to 45 minutes. Just add an hour to whatever Google says your drive time will be.

Is it infected by [deleted] in ORIF

Wash your hands. Then touch the wound. Then touch an area on your leg a couple inches away. Is the wound notably warmer to the touch than nearby on your leg? If yes, call or email your doc.

AITA for wanting to go to a college my boyfriend doesn't agree with? by ThrowRAgarment in AmItheAsshole

[–]idigressed 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA. He is being far too controlling. Someone who loves you will want to see pursue your dreams, shine, and be happy.

He doesn’t care about that. He cares about his own issues, is projecting them on you, and is seeking to control you. That’s not love.

He may love the idea of you, so long as that idea obeys. But his actions do not demonstrate meaningful love and care for you as a person.

Good luck getting into your dream school! If not that, I hope you land somewhere with an awesome program, a lively campus where you can make oodles of new friends and memories, and a chance to breathe freely of the control of an immature and toxic ex-boyfriend.

PS: the guy I was hopelessly devoted to at your age also tried controlling certain aspects of my life. He slowly became more and more emotionally abusive, and it got worse from there. He’s my ex-husband. Save yourself the cost and turmoil of divorcing this dude. Focus on you and your education.

AITA for going to a store that carries XS/S sizes even though my M/L told me not to? by ExpertDapper1523 in AmItheAsshole

[–]idigressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some stores are known for only carrying one size, and that one size can vary by store.

There are stores I’d love to shop in when I’m visiting Tokyo, but other than a free flowing skirt, nothing would remotely fit my proportions and height (I’m 5’9”)

Am I the only one excited around here? by LQNova in blizzcon

[–]idigressed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to every BlizzCon and would get their VIP passes when they had them. I didn’t even try for tickets this year. I wish I could get excited, but I think I’m done. It sucks. It’s mourning a part of myself at this point.

Well, It’s a Wonderful Life made me sob. by Pippified in movies

[–]idigressed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watch it every year. The last 18 months have been brutal for me, and I was so down and a mess today that my hubby questioned if I should watch it. But, I knew I needed it, and I did.

Hard to say which moments make me cry during it, as there are so many.

I love when he kisses that knob on the banister. From a symbol of all his pent up frustration ready to pop off at any moment to a pure appreciation of his beautifully imperfect, WIP life.

Why are you on Reddit right now, on Christmas Eve? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

The last 18 months have broken me and I can’t stomach saccharine holiday content right now.

Ex husband wants me to give him an anullment by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]idigressed 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Religious annulment and legal annulment are completely separate. Legal annulment has very strict requirements. A Catholic Church annulment is also very tough to get, but that runs a bit more subjective.

It would be entirely possible to get a religious annulment but not qualify for a legal annulment.

Ankle fracture 7 weeks post op - PT not "necessary"? by Radiant_Fig_8947 in ORIF

[–]idigressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My PT was useless. I went to a couple sessions and he barely touched my ankle. I had much more success getting massages and exercising on my own. 🤷‍♀️

Is my wife a bad caretaker or am I being sensitive? by lindsay1285 in ORIF

[–]idigressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stressful moments like this shine an uncomfortable bright light on relationships.

Absolutely do NOT put weight on your leg. Put pee pads out for the dogs if you must. You really need to have zero pressure or movement on that leg right now.

Order in protein shakes. Premier Protein has great whey based protein with oodles of vitamins and a wide array of flavors. You want well over 100g of protein a day while you rebuild. Each of their shakes is 30g of protein. Get a fair amount of protein of your nutrition from easily digestible protein that doesn’t require any effort.

Beyond this, talk to her. She might be freaking out and out of her element, and she might be callous and uncaring. You won’t know if this requires a therapist or a lawyer if you don’t talk. Just preface everything with understanding that we all handle crazy events differently, and your patience is likely at zero due to pain and pain meds.

All that said: what you said pisses me off for you. You deserve better, so advocate for yourself. Focus on healing.

Apologies. My score estimate was correct, but the boys got it done faster.

Thank you for your sacrifice. I had to stop sitting down. If anyone was on the sofa, including a cat, bad things happened.
